kindly asked a little girl that was coloring "what do you want for christmas" like i did all the other kids at my table

she says "a sibling"

i smile awkward and say "oh, i wonder if your mom is ok with that"

she's like "yeah..." and then she looks at me like shes freaking seen war and says "i have seven brothers. i just want one sister, that's all"

and i almost freakinh lost it
